On Thursday, many of IndiGo’s flights were delayed or cancelled as thousands of passengers were left stranded at airports across India.
IndiGo continues to face operational disruptions as chaos broke out at several airports across the country after flights faced delays and cancellations for a third straight day on Thursday. Visuals shared on social media showed crowds of passengers waiting at airports amid delays in flights and several others being cancelled by India’s largest airline amid a crew shortage.
An airline spokesperson on Wednesday said that IndiGo’s operations were “significantly disrupted across the network for the past two days” due to reasons including tech glitches, unfavourable weather, increased congestion and the implementation of updated Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) that came into effect in November.
